1 tsp of oregano
½ tsp of splenda

1 TBSP minced garlic
1 tsp basil

Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven and drain fat from pan. The leaner the beef, the less grease to drain. Using 2 large spatulas remove meat crust from baking pan and place onto nonstick cookie sheet or baking sheet.
